Concrete Anchor and Fastener Testing
Specialized Testing is committed to providing tension, shear, repeated load, seismic tension and seismic shear testing of anchors and other fasteners and reporting services to our clients in conformance with applicable standards and procedures in an ethical, timely, confidential, and cost-effective manner.
What is Concrete Anchor and Fastener Testing?
Concrete anchor testing is the process of subjecting mechanical anchors or fasteners to a number of strenuous forces, including static tension, shear, and oblique forces as well as conducting. Our process also conducts proper functioning tests, and certain suitability tests according to ACI, AC, and ASTM standards.
Anchor and fastener testing is done by trained professionals in a controlled environment, with highly specialized and calibrated mechanical equipment and computer systems.
